We were recently invited to the Wawa Grand Opening in Fields Ertel to represent the Special Olympics in a hoagie building competition. We put together a team of Special Olympics athletes to compete against the local Fire Department! It was tight race, but the Fire Department came out on top - but we will get them next time! 💪

We were presented with a $1000 donation check to the Special Olympics! Thank you for this generous donation and fun opportunity!

Happy New Year from the Warren County Board of Developmental Disabilities!

In 2025, we worked hard to support people with disabilities and their families to achieve what is important to them. But we couldn’t have done it without your support.

Every service provided by our agency and every event we host is made possible by the generous and compassionate community, staff members, and volunteers who care deeply about our agency and the population we serve. Thank you to everyone who has supported our agency this year.
